That seems to mean they will run all kinds of shows that are scam oriented - the worst of the self help, get rich quick and questionable science crap they can put on.

I haven't donated to the station for years. I used to donate to them but every year they would put my name on their mailing list another time so every time they sent out stuff I was getting multiple copies. They made no effort to cut down on their mailing lists and did not care how many trees they sacrificed to send out junk. Even after I stopped donating it took nearly ten years to stop getting their junk mail.

Since the station now shows garbage during their fund raising instead of re-running their best shows, I will not consider donating to them again.

It should be coming up in the next several weeks.

Thank dog, they didn't interrupt Downton Abbey with fund drives.

Just junk programs for the most part.

Tonight the choices are better - Finding Your Roots and a program called This Land is Your Land with the Smothers Brothers and Judy Collin on this history of American folk music.
